Overview
Job Description
Are you registered health care professional with experience of Infection Prevention and Control? Looking for a new challenge to use your skills and knowledge in a new organisation? If so, this could be exactly what you have been waiting for! My name is Jyoti and I am the Head of Infection Prevention and Control at Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust. I am a registered general nurse and responsible for providing IPC leadership and guidance within the Trust in the current fast paced environment. Further to recent directorate review, I am recruiting to the post of Infection Prevention and Control Lead (Band 6) 1.0 WTE permanent post within the Nursing and Quality Directorate. I am looking for a credible, passionate and enthusiastic registered nurse or AHP with demonstrable knowledge and experience in Infection Prevention and Control. Ideally you should have experience of managing and dealing with Infection Prevention and Control issues, participating in audit and surveillance with experience of supporting change management. If you are ready for a challenging and very satisfying role where you can contribute to service developments and make a real difference for patients and staff, we would like you to join our team. You will be highly organised and have a flexible approach to work. You will be rewarded by working in a dynamic learning environment with likeminded, motivated colleagues, full of ideas and willingness to embrace change. The successful candidate will be based at either Bath NHS House, Bath or Callington Road Hospital, Bristol but will need to work flexibly to meet the needs of the whole Trust and this will include some cross site working. There's no doubt that this is a demanding role working in a very fast paced environment, however for the right individual, this would be a very rewarding role and one which you could really make your own. If this sounds like you, I would very much welcome an informal discussion with you so that I can talk through the role in more detail and answer any questions you may have. If you would like to, I would also be delighted to arrange an informal visit, which would give you the opportunity to meet the team. Please contact me either by telephone on 07565201075 or by email j.sharma1@nhs.net. For further details / informal visits contact: Jyoti Sharma - j.sharma1@nhs.net.
